Yay, Mr. Oz is back; I have only recently began playing with serious intention to win consistently and have been reading thru all the posts so much thanks to all the players that contribute their experiences and understanding of the game. For me, the hero is Norm, rest in peace, and I am learning that style of play so I mostly flat bet and the highest I bet is 2; I look for all exploits like MC, LC, ZZ or S40, STR or F, SS, OTBL, TBL, etc and try to adapt with the shoe.
Since Norm, it looks like there are many great players now, especially someone who self-effacingly seems to performs at his level or even more now, so I posted a shoe and I hope you all can give your input on how to play it better. Some questions I have are: was my entry too late, which bets should I have suspended or placed, were the wager amounts correct depending on the situation and did I exit too late?
Also to note my scorecard; the 4 columns to the right of the P and B record are either for the 4D counts or the SAP counts which I use depending on what I am seeing in the shoe so that I have the particular counts to verify what I am seeing. In this case, it is the 4D count so the first column is the P/B count, the second is the O/R count, the third OT/T count, and the fourth, 2OT/2T count. I start keeping the O/R count at play 9 count because I see the repeats of B3 P2 B4- so I am anticipating playing SS for banker. At play 23 I start paying attention to the OT/T count because of the opposites following the repeats and lack of twos so I am anticipating a TBL situation and I just record the count from play 20.
The question marks are my paper bets.
I start playing OTBL at play 32-36 and switch back to TBL for play 38-39.
I’ll listen to the input first rather than explain the reasoning for some of my play in which I clearly made some errors so I'll appreciate any suggestions and much thanks to anyone who chimes it.
